Bullrich on Milei's Victory: Popular Support and the Need for Reforms

The president saw in Santilli a person with experience, with good dialogue, and at this stage, to move forward with the reforms we propose, dialogue is very important." Finally, he explained that "many people like me, who come from PRO, made a decision to support President Milei in the runoff." The Minister of National Security and elected senator, Patricia Bullrich, stated tonight that "the government was oxygenated by popular support," and explained that the people gave Javier Milei the victory "to give the President the tools that were being denied to him in Parliament." "The people voted and cleared up all doubts, we had an extraordinary election across the country," Bullrich expressed, referring to last Sunday's elections in statements to La Nación +. The elected senator maintained that Sunday's victory was due to the fact that "a sector of politics generated uncertainty, and society realized that this was not the product of the government but was artificially created in Congress." However, she clarified that Sunday's vote "is not a blank check, one should never take it that way or believe it," because that type of analysis "brings arrogance and that is never convenient" when governing. "In March we were coming out (economically) and today we have plateaued." She believes that "he does not know him, because he has a high-quality education," and as an example she said that "the most important management summary we receive every week is done by Manuel Adorni, he has the whole picture." Likewise, she expressed her support for the appointment of Diego Santilli as head of the Ministry of the Interior. "We all went all in, and that is the attitude a person who comes from the political culture of PRO must have," she asserted. "This takeoff and the change that the president is making in the Cabinet brings about a renewal that is necessary," she assured. She also criticized former President Mauricio Macri for his criticisms of the designated Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni.
